6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

  • Nessun potere: Ensure the extender is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the Power LED is illuminated.
  • Segnale debole: If the Signal Strength LEDs indicate a weak connection, try repositioning the extender closer to your main router. Obstacles like thick walls can reduce signal strength. Adjust the rotatable antennas for optimal reception.
  • Impossibile accedere alla pagina di configurazione: Ensure your device is connected to the extender's default Wi-Fi network. Try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser. Verify the IP address or domain name.
  • Nessun accesso a Internet dopo l'installazione: Confirm that the extender is successfully connected to your main router (solid Signal Strength LEDs). Check your main router's internet connection. Ensure you entered the correct Wi-Fi password for your main router during setup.
  • Ripristino di fabbrica: If you encounter persistent issues, you can perform a factory reset by pressing and holding the WPS/Reset button for approximately 8-10 seconds until all LEDs flash. This will revert the extender to its default settings, requiring re-configuration.
